in HTML, putting <FORM> tags inside a <TD> causes the elements witin the form (text, controls) to be invisible.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create table with 1 row, with 1 cell.
2. Put a form inside the td with 1 control
3. open page with FF
Actual Results:  
Empty screen

Expected Results:  
See form contents

A workaround is putting the form around the table, or anywhere else really.

In html.css (the client side CSS) it says:

tr > form:-moz-is-html, tbody > form:-moz-is-html,
thead > form:-moz-is-html, tfoot > form:-moz-is-html,
table > form:-moz-is-html {
/* Important: don't show these forms in HTML */
display: none !important;
}

Which according to firebug is the style applied to the form.

Ok, after restarting FF, this went away. No idea why this happend. This can be closed I suppose.
